The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
12.Power Cord Protection- Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13.Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable sys- tem is grounded so as to provide some protec- tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-dis- charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

17. Object and Liquid Entry- Never push objects |
of any kind into this video product through any |
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage |
points or short-out parts that could result in a |
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any |
kind on the video product. |
18. Servicing- Do not attempt to service this video |
product yourself as opening or removing covers |
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other |
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service |
personnel. |
19. Damage Requiring Service- Unplug this video |
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing |
to qualified service personnel under the follow- |
ing conditions: |
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is dam- |
aged. |
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen |
into the video product. |
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or |
1.Read Instructions- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future refer- ence.
3.Heed Warnings- All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.Follow Instructions- All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5.Cleaning- Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for unin- terrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for clean- ing or any other purpose, may exclude the refer- ence to unplugging the appliance in the clean- ing description otherwise required in item 5.
6.Attachments- Do not use attachments not rec- ommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7.Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8.Accessories- Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing seri- ous injury to a child or adult, and serious dam- age to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommend-
ed by the manufacturer. An appli- ance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur- faces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9.Ventilation- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reli- able operation of the video product and to pro- tect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur- face. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the man- ufacturer's instructions have been adhered to .
10.Power Sources- This video product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11.Grounding or Polarization- This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obso- lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

14.Lightning- For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon- nect the antenna or cable system. This will pre- vent damage to the video product due to light- ning and power-line surges.
15.Power Lines- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir- cuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16.Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience recep- tacles as this can result in a risk of fire or elec- tric shock.

d. If the video product does not operate normally |
by following the operating instructions. Adjust |
only those controls that are covered by the |
